How to put a picture on forum

[Deano]

This question comes up Now & Again "how do we upload and show pictures on the Forum?"

First of all you need a 'Picture Host', which is simply somewhere to upload and store your Pics.
Quite a few members use 'Photobucket.com' ....but there are a lot of options out there.

When you have your pictures uploaded to your 'Host'. Open the pic you want to use and 'right-click' on it.
Go into properties, then a window will open with the details of the pic.

Looks like this:-

You need to highlight and copy to the 'image code'


Right click in the area of your post where you want the image and choose 'Paste'.





Click the 'Submit' button at the bottom of the page and there it is! (use the 'preview' button to make sure you did it correctly first

You should end up with your picture displayed, something like this :


[IMG]http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll306/Miniaddicts/aug%2010th%2008%20run/aug10th08run001.jpg

Maximum of 10 pics per post but you can do as many posts as you like.

It's as easy as that!

Just tried it , it does work. on photobucket bottom line under the pic you want it says[IMG] Highlight the right hand section (turns blue) Right click and select copy. when back in your message box on MA forum get cursor at left hand side and right click and select copy.
You should get a long line of gobbledeegook as I call it!:eek:
scroll down to preview and select. Your message and photo should come up.
If you are happy with that go down and Submit.
Make sure the line of gobbledeegook is free from your message and that it has not split it up at all otherwise message does not make sense!:)
Try it first without message. If it works go back down to your message (below the preview) put cursor in front of Gobbledeegook line press return so that it moves the line down. Replace cursor on top and type message then again select preview and if you're happy press submit.
Took me a few times to crack this but at 63 years of age you can expect that :D
